Vendre in the French futur simple is: je vendrai, tu vendras, il/elle/on vendra, nous vendrons, vous vendrez, ils/elles vendront. The futur simple of vendre uses the stem 'vendr-' (drop -e from infinitive). 'Je vendrai ma voiture' = 'I'll sell my car'. The dropped -e is standard for -re verbs in the futur.

Tip

Working with the futur

The futur simple ("je parlerai") describes future actions, predictions, and conjecture about the present. In conversation it competes with the futur proche ("je vais parler" — going-to future), which is more common for near-term plans. Use the futur simple for distant or formal futures ("un jour, je voyagerai en Asie") and for conjecture ("il sera fatigué" = he must be tired). The futur stem is the full infinitive for regular verbs (parler-, finir-, vendr-), with a small set of irregular stems for high-frequency verbs: être → ser-, avoir → aur-, aller → ir-, faire → fer-, savoir → saur-, pouvoir → pourr-, vouloir → voudr-, venir → viendr-, devoir → devr-, voir → verr-.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How do you conjugate vendre in the futur?

The futur of vendre uses 'vendr-' (drop -e from infinitive 'vendre'): je vendrai, tu vendras, il/elle/on vendra, nous vendrons, vous vendrez, ils/elles vendront. The dropped -e is the standard -re-verb future pattern (attendre → attendrai, prendre → prendrai).

Why is the futur stem 'vendr-' and not 'vendre-'?

All French -re verbs drop the final -e before attaching future endings. The endings start with -a/-e/-o, so keeping the -e of the infinitive would create a triple vowel ('vendre+ai') that's awkward. Dropping -e creates a clean stem 'vendr-' for attachment.

When do I use 'je vendrai' instead of 'je vais vendre'?

Both express future selling. 'Je vendrai' (futur simple) feels slightly more formal. 'Je vais vendre' (futur proche) is more conversational for near-term plans.
